Learn Interlingue - Lesson 6
Syntax
The ordinary word order is subject-verb-object.
li monument es plazzat avan li palazzo = the monument is placed in front of the palace.
Short adjectives generally precede the noun
un bon idé = a good idea
Long adjectives may follow the noun
li lingue international = the international language
Questions
The interrogative phrase begins with esque, or any other interrogative pronoun or adverb [qui, quo, quande].
esque vu va promenar? = are you going to walk?
Inversion may be used without the interrogative esque
have vu li libre? = have you the book?
Negation
The negation is indicated by the word ne
il ne ha fat it = he has not done it
This ends the short course.
